A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Mommy!
Mejía for president, gentlemen!
COURTHOUSE
My name is Andrea Correa.
I'm a judge, I work here.
Calm down.
Look, here's my card.
JUDICIARY OF COLOMBIA JUDGE
Do you know where to find Ms. Fabiola Contreras's office?
Yes. It's on the third floor. But if you're looking for a lawyer,
I recommend you find a legal counseling firm,
because that lady's not trustworthy.
You talked to my mom last week.
You told her Ms. Fabiola was not trustworthy.
Why?
Well, she just isn't.
Look, some people are mean
and don't care about hurting others.
I know you don't know me, but we have to get out of here fast.
You have to trust me.
I don't know who to trust anymore.
Do you know if it's true, what happened to my mom?
It appears so.
I didn't know she was your mom. I'm so sorry, sweetie.
I want to see her.
-Do you know where she is? -Yes, and I can take you to her.
But we have to go quickly, okay?
Let's go, okay?
Sareca.
Don't worry, sweetie. Everything will be okay, I promise.
Ana Lucía! Ana Lucía, come here!
-Come here! -They are my friends. I'll be right back.
Don't be long, please.
Toto, Dorita, come.
-This lady will help us. -No, what lady?
-Walk, we'll get in trouble. -No...
Ana? Ana, run!
Ana!
-I'm sorry, sir! Excuse me! -Please, no!
-Ana! -Quick, quick!
Hurry, hurry! Quick!
Do you think you can just do whatever you feel like?
Ana!
I'm sure that it was Ana Lucía on the phone.
She's in danger.
And you said you'd help, but you haven't done anything.
Pablo.
I'm moving heaven and earth trying to find her, believe me.
What I care the most about right now is Ana Lucía's well-being.
Oh, really? Is that why you yelled at her and hit her when the vase broke?
You don't like Ana Lucía and you don't want her to come back.
You are as mean as my mom.
What? Pablo, you'll show some respect because I am your mother.
You kicked her out on the streets for no reason.
I broke the vase. She didn't do anything.
You don't care about Ana Lucía. I don't trust anything you say anymore.
-Pablo, Pablo! -Pablo!
-Eugenia, honey. -Pablo!
Well, I think this has been a very tough situation for everyone.
Especially for him.
Stop treating us like this!
I won't run away again!
But not because I can't.
But because...
my mom is dead.
And I have nowhere to go.
Otherwise, I'd be gone already.
And you are also cocky.
Go inside! Quick!
Let's go.
You are such an idiot.
They were running away, Tarántula.
Who do you think you are? What do you want?
That Carrasco caused nothing but trouble.
Sir, look, those people are from the judicial police.
What do we do?
Wait for me here.
Turn it off.
Hello!
How have you been?
Councior Guillermo León Mejía. One question.
Who can I talk to that can help me?
Sir, how are you?
Nice to meet you. Lieutenant Augusto Bahamón.
I'm in charge of this operation.
-Lieutenant, my pleasure. -Great, thank you.
Quick question. Will you be long?
Well, right now we are collecting the evidence.
So you'll have to go around and take the secondary road.
Okay.
I imagine you are investigating the Junca case.
Yes, sir. Although the body was found in Cota,
we are sure this is where the murder took place.
Have you found any suspects?
I don't know, I see some stuff over there. Maybe there are some clues?
Well, sir, I'd love to give you some answers,
but right now, it'd be a bit rushed.
And as far as I understand, on the day of the events
you were celebrating your election at the De la Torre house.
And as far as I understand, you were one of the last to arrive
at around 9 p.m., am I right?
Probably.
Yes, I had to change...
came over here, but I don't remember the exact time.
Sir, did you take this road?
Yes, yes, yes, this one.
It's faster. The other one is too long.
-Sure, I see. -Why do you ask?
Well, your time of arrival
matches the time of Darelis's murder.
No, honestly, it's all so strange, Lieutenant.
Because I didn't see anything at all, and If I had,
I would've notified the authorities immediately.
Well, I'll get back to the investigation.
Be careful out there, you know what happens around here.
-Yes... -Hello?
Are you sure the lawyer who called
said that the girl was Ana Lucía Junca?
-See you later, sir. -I'll let him know.
Don't worry. Take your time
Diana just called.
She had to run some errands and she'll be a while.
-Did she say anything else? -No, sir. That was it.
Carrasco, you left the car theft report on my desk, right?
Yes, sir.
And the car was left unrecognizable, right?
My cousin scrapped it.
And the girl?
What you told me, sir.
Apparently someone called the De la Torre household a little while ago.
A young girl. And Pablo said that it was Ana Lucía.
What do you think?
That's impossible.
Take me to where you buried her.
Right now?
Is that a problem?
No, sir.
It's just that there are so many cops around,
we'd better wait until things cool down a little.
Carrasco, you do know what would happen
if you're lying to me, right?
Yes, sir.
No, kid.
No one will help us.
Wake up, Froggy.
That lady will.
We need to go find her, whatever it takes.
Plus, if that man Mejía finds out where I am,
he'll kill me, like he did my mom.
Please.
I remember her, yes.
It was Darelis.
Before she went out, did Darelis mention what problem
she needed to sort here at the house?
Inés, relax.
Speak openly.
Darelis got in an argument with me due to the severance pay. That was it.
Is that why she came?
Maybe, I...
I don't know.
Do you know if there was anyone who wanted to hurt Darelis?
And you, Mrs. Eugenia?
Do you know if, besides yourself,
Darelis had any problems with other people in the area?
No, no, I don't know.
All we know is that this is a very unfortunate accident.
A very unfortunate accident that, I'm sure, someone's tried to cover up.
I won't take any more of your time.
I'm leaving, but let me give you my card.
Please, if you remember anything, don't hesitate to contact me, please.
Well. Oh...
I will need the party guest list.
Is that really necessary?
Because there were mayors, governors...
very important people that I would rather not disturb.
Honey!
No problem, detective.
I will send you that list myself, through Colonel Pulgarín.
Great. Thank you.
-My pleasure. -Goodbye.
Inés, don't worry, we'll find the person who did this.
-Excuse me. Thank you. -I'll walk you out.
I came to see you because I know you are in charge of the Darelis Junca case.
And I ran into the girl this morning, Ana Lucía.
Is she okay?
No, she's being held by a gang,
along with other minors.
They are probably living in miserable conditions.
Look.
They took her in a car and this is the license plate number.
-Can I keep this paper? -Yes, of course.
I'm going to check the files to see if I can find anything useful.
I appreciate it.
The girl is in danger, Agustín.
Plus, she says she knows who killed her mother.
What?
Guillermo León Mejía.
The newly elected councilor.
Apparently, according to the girl, he ran her over with his own car.
Ana Lucía is in danger, Agustín.
We need to find her soon.
Come in.
LIEUTENANT AGUSTÍN BAHAMÓN'S OFFICE
Hey! Did you lose something or what?
I didn't recognize you on that beast.
Hey, hey, hey! Okay there boys, take it easy.
Get out of here, otherwise I'm screwed! Hurry! Go!
Hey! Get lost!
I asked you to look after her, I gave you the money to do so,
now it turns out
this kid's making phone calls and saying more than she should.
Making phone calls? Impossible.
We lost sight of her for a little bit, but there were no phones, nothing.
You lost sight of her?
Don't be an idiot, man!
I told Nidia to watch her, to not let her talk to anybody!
Okay. Chill.
We'll make sure she doesn't leave the house anymore.
But if you want to take her with you, dude, go right ahead.
You should, because we are spending quite a lot on that kid.
What's the problem? Is it a money thing? Huh?
Is it about money?
What's the deal with that kid, huh?
It's none of your business, don't be a snoop.
You know what? Consider yourself warned.
If she runs away again, you die.
What's up, fags? What's good?
Get lost! Move, let me see!
Do I look like an idiot? Huh?
I've heard you've been talking to more people.
I'm going to teach you to keep your mouth shut, you hear me?
I'm the boss here!
No, Tarántula. She's new, she doesn't know what life's like here.
But she'll learn and she'll get to work.
That's exactly why, because the little princess doesn't have a clue.
Right? We need to teach her.
And you, don't be so nosy.
Get out of here! Quick!
-Let's go! -Get lost!
Tarántula, please!
I can't believe Ana Lucía won't even get to go to her mom's funeral.
Come here, young Pablo.
It'll just be a very small, simple thing, okay?
Darelis won't have a mass...
she won't have flowers...
But I'll sell my toys, the race car track, the records.
And why do you want to sell your favorite toys?
And this video game you love?
So Darelis can have a nice funeral.
Would you do me a favor and explain to me…
how such a big heart can fit in such a skinny little body?
That's great, Pablo.
Great.
But there's no need.
Your mom and I will pay for all the funeral expenses.
All? Really?
Yes, we've made all the arrangements.
Oh, Mr. Manuel José, thank you so much, sir.
It's from the bottom of our hearts, Inés.
Noon is perfect.
Right after I get out of school.
No, sir.
Those events are for adults, not children.
But, Dad, just a few days ago you told me that I wasn't a child anymore.
So, if I'm not a child, I can go, right?
And what do we tell your mom?
She won't like it.
She doesn't like anything that has to do with Ana Lucía.
Well, I'll go, even if you don't let me.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, don't be so sad, you don't look that bad.
Don't be sad, we will help you.
Won't we, Toto?
The only one who can help me is judge Andrea.
Because that lawyer, Fabiola, told me no one would believe me.
Because he is a councilor, an important person,
and I'm just a poor orphan.
Well, she's kind of right.
Can't you see we are children and no one ever believes us?
My mom taught me not to let anyone put me down.
And I'll do as she said.
What are you planning?
I'm going to look for Andrea.
She told me to trust her and I feel she's my only hope.
Hope for what?
There's no hope here.
For that man to pay for everything he did to us.
To her and to me.
I swear, to her who's in heaven,
that everyone will find out what that man did to her.
THE BIBLE
PATERNITY SUIT NOTICE
Oh, Darelis, look.
Here's a copy of the paternity suit the lawyer dropped off this afternoon.
Put it somewhere safe, the original is over at the courthouse.
And that man, well, they'll send him his copy.
PATERNITY SUIT NOTICE
NATIONAL POLICE HEADQUARTERS
This is the man who took Ana Lucía.
He's the head of the gang. He's known as Tarántula.
Involved in human trafficking and child abuse.
No.
But don't worry. We are on it.
We'll proceed as soon as we find out where they keep the children.
Have you heard from Ana Lucía?
No.
Come in.
Lieutenant, we found a car and it might be linked
to the murder of Darelis Junca.
Thank you, Vargas, I'll be right there.
Make sure they are squeaky clean, and hurry up, you have more chores.
What?
Are you giving me a dirty look? Huh?
Are you giving me a dirty look?
Look, if you can't work on the streets, you have to work at the house.
And let me give you some free advice.
Quit looking for trouble.
Stop getting on Tarántula's nerves
and forget about that mother of yours, she's gone.
I will never forget my mom.
She'll always be with me.
And I won't forget aboutall the people who hurt us.
I will get out of here, you'll see.
Well, screw you.
And, in the meantime, get to work.
Wash it right! That's dirty!
Put it back in there and wash it!
Is that Mejía's car?
It was reported stolen the day of the elections.
They found this in the trunk of the car.
Exactly like the one Darelis was wearing.
My God.
There's a dent on the bumper,
a dent on the hood and there are blood stains.
It matches exactly what the girl said.
The councilor is involved, Agustín.
The girl is the only witness.
We need to find her before it is too late.
-Wait! -Pablo...
Don't worry, Darelis.
I will find Ana Lucía. She will be fine.
Listen, this is abusive.
Wasn't it enough that he treated our friends
as if they were suspects?
It is the procedure, honey.
Well, it's disrespectful.
How can he even think
that our friends would do something like that?
Besides, since when is the life of a housekeeper so important?
Did you just say "of a housekeeper," Eugenia?
You're not yourself.
Look where we are.
Look at what we are going through.
I do expect more respect from you.
More compassion.
Manuel José, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I think Eugenia is right.
What this man is doing is abusive.
But don't worry, I'll take care of it.
Excuse me. Pablo, Pablo! Let's go to the car.
Did you talk to the colonel about the girl?
Yes, but he has no news.
And you?
I don't either. Why do you ask?
Look, don't treat me like my husband, who thinks I haven't got a clue.
I'm sure you have something to do with Darelis's death. I'm positive.
No, no, no, excuse me, Eugenia.
You really think I'm capable of doing something like that?
Yes. I think you are capable of doing that and much more.
Don't forget that I heard part of your conversation with her.
Look, what I think is that you have no idea what's going on.
Because, with all of this, your career is at risk.
Your friendship with my husband is at risk. Maybe even your life.
I won't allow that to happen.
Well then, make sure you sort out this problem with the Juncas,
because if this turns into a scandal,
my family will be the first one to turn our backs on you.
I'm warning you.
Excuse me, Eugenia, but honestly, this conversation makes no sense.
Carrasco!
I think this is the reason they killed Darelis.
A paternity suit?
She wanted Guillermo León Mejía to take responsibility for the child.
What?
Look, he'll always deny it, you know? But…
But I know he's Ana Lucía's father.
Diana.
Mr. Mejía, the bank manager called
to confirm your 4:30 appointment for this afternoon.
-What should I tell him? -Councilor?
Hello.
My name is Fabiola Contreras.
I'm the lawyer of Darelis Junca, the deceased.
I called you yesterday and left a message for you to call me back.
Councilor, your files.
Sir, she's the lady that claims to have information on the child.
I gave this information to Carrasco. He told you about it, right?
No.
Well, excuse me, sir.
Come with me.
So you are coming to my office
to blackmail me with a photocopy.
I think you misunderstood me.
I'm not here to blackmail you at all.
I'm here to offer my services.
And warn you.
Warn me about what?
That I ran into Ana Lucía in the hallway of the courthouse.
And since I know she's so important to you,
I came looking for you immediately.
-Did you see her? -I talked to her for quite some time.
Actually, I came close to bringing her over here.
But the truth is that she ran away.
This is very good news, you know?
You've no idea how much they've been searching for that poor girl
and, thank God, she turned up.
Alive and kicking, she's a busybody, sir.
If you only knew the terrible things she's saying about you.
She's saying you are the one who ran over her mom. Go figure.
What do you think? Huh?
Look, sir.
I know how important it is for you to put an end to this whole thing.
But I also know that I can help you with this
and many other things, if you want.
Excuse me, sir.
Lieutenant Agustín Bahamón is asking to see you.
He says he needs to talk to you urgently.
Let him in.
Excuse me, sir.
Well, Ms. Fabiola Contreras.
We'll see if you can help me with everything you are saying.
I'll call you.
My pleasure, sir.
You know where to find me.
-Councilor, how are you? -Lieutenant.
-How have you been? -Very well, thank you.
Take a seat, please.
How can I help you?
Sir, I'm here to let you know that we've found your vehicle.
Really? The good news keeps coming.
That's great.
Well, I'm not sure this is good news for you.
We are sure your vehicle was used to run over Darelis Junca.
We found Darelis's blood.
And the shoe she was missing.
It's all so weird.
And I really don't know what you're talking about.
My driver told me my car had been stolen,
but he filed the report.
And we used my wife's car to go to the party.
You can call her if you'd like.
Of course, we will also talk to your wife.
But right now, I need your driver.
I need him to come to the station with me. Could you call him?
Lieutenant, I'd love to help you, but I can't.
He asked me for a few days off, but as soon as he comes back to Bogotá,
believe me, I'll drive him myself to give his statement.
Don't worry, we'll find him.
Do me a favor and tell me your driver's address.
What was his name? Carrasco?
Carrasco, right?
Carrasco, that's right.
Maybe Carrasco can tell us where to find Ana Lucía.
Dianita, my assistant, will give you the address.
Dianita.
Well, I'll talk to Dianita, then.
Excuse me, I don't mean to take any more of your time, Lieutenant, but...
I'm swamped with work today.
Politicians are very busy people.
-Have a good day. Talk to you later. -You too.
Enough with this bullshit.
Look at me.
All you had to do was destroy the car. Destroy a car.
And you couldn't do it. Now, because of you,
that lieutenant will search for you everywhere, you hear me?
Sir...
-I can't go back to prison... -Shut your mouth!
Shut up.
You are the one who will pay for this.
That little brat is spilling everything.
That's impossible, look, Mr. Mejía.
I left her somewhere where they are looking after her.
Oh, well, that's good to know.
Great to hear they are looking after her.
Kill her, you moron! Kill her!
That was the order. You had to kill her.
You couldn't do it, am I right? You couldn't do it.
I'm not gonna let anyone screw me over.
That little brat or anyone.
We need to get rid of her.
Take me to the place where you left her right now.
Look at me, you'll take care of her and I will be there to make sure.
Right there, sir. That's the place.
I don't know how you'll do it, Carrasco, but I need that little girl here now.
What is that?
Did you not understand that you'll take care of it all?
Just in case you need it.
Until I come back.
Get going.
Don't be long.
What's the rush?
Hey, what are you doing here? Go to bed!
If you ate, you ate! Go to bed!
All of you!
All of you go to your room!
You'll knock my door down!
-What is it? -I'm here for the girl.
Oh, no, nice.
-First... -Where's the girl, damn it?
-Go find her! -Where?
Look for her over there.
Ana Lucía.
You're a liar!
You said you'd come get me and you didn't!
I was looking for your mom.
-Can't you see that I found her? -Stop telling lies!
I did! She's right outside. She's waiting for you.
My mom is dead!
And I'm not going anywhere with you!
You're coming with me, damn it!
-No! Let go of me! -You're coming with me!
-Stop moving! -No! Let me go!
Goddammit!
She's not going with you! Did you hear?
Stay out of it!
Little shit!
Ana Lucía!
-No! No! -Come here, damn it!
Close it, close it!
What the hell?
National Police! Everyone down!
Everyone on the floor! National Police!
On the floor!
We need to leave now.
Everything will be okay.
Honey.
-Are you okay? -Yes, thank you so much.
Thank you. I knew I could trust you.
I'm so happy to see you.
Everything will be fine, okay?
It's time to go.
-Let's go. -Yes.
Too bad the cops got here.
I'm about to lose my reputation,
my freedom and my family, and all you can say is "too bad".
Well, sir. See, I swear this time I'll--
Ugh, Carrasco...
Shut up.
As usual, it is up to me to fix what you can't.
That little brat could be the end of me.
Hello.
One question.
What are we going to do to find Ana Lucía?
Because you do remember that she called, right?
And, well, we haven't done anything.
Guillermo is helping us,
he's doing everything he can to find her, okay?
-He's friends with the police... -Look!
-He knows... -The children rescued
from a boarding house in the La Herradura neighborhood
-were taken to a foster home. -Look! That's Ana Lucía!
I don't think that's her.
No, it doesn't look like her.
Yes, she cut her hair, but that's her.
Where did they say they took her?
It's, um...
It's like a home where they take children who have nowhere to sleep.
No, honey, that's not her.
It is, Mom! Are you blind?
-Hey, hey, hey. -What?
Watch your tone with your mom.
Dad, can we go now?
You can't now, it's too late. Forget it.
Dad, please, help me.
-That's it, enough. -But, Dad...
-I'll help, but tomorrow. -Enough.
Okay?
-Are we good? -Yes.
Okay.
Come here. My goodnight kiss.
Goodnight.
-This is your home. -Thank you.
In line.
Andrea.
Luisa, let me introduce you to Lieutenant Agustín Bahamón.
Nice to meet you, Luisa Lopera.
-How are you? -This is Ana Lucía.
-Nice to meet you. Luisa. -Toto.
Nice to meet you. Luisa.
-And Dorita. -Nice to meet you. Luisa.
Are we staying here?
Yes, here you'll have clothes, food, warm beds.
But why are you leaving us here?
You promised you'd take us with you.
You told me you'd take me to the cemetery tomorrow to see my mom.
And that you'd help me find Pablo.
And I will, Ana Lucía.
I just need you to stay here tonight.
Trust me, honey.
We have to do things the right way.
For now, you need to rest and...
I'll come pick you up tomorrow to take you to the district attorney's office.
The district attorney's office, why?
Ana Lucía is a witness to a crime and has to give a statement.
Come on, kids. This way.
I'll see you tomorrow.
This way, kids.
Thank you for everything you did today, Agustín.
I don't think this would've been possible without you.
See you tomorrow.
Andrea, wait.
-Where are you going? -Keep it down.
What is it?
I'm going to see Ana Lucía.
Don't tell anyone I went out. Behave.
Okay. Be careful, little man.
Okay.
Why aren't you eating? Don't you like it?
Froggy is sad because that lady said she'd take her and she didn't.
She's disappointed.
See?
That's what you get for trusting adults.
Why should you even care about adults?
You are with us, your friends.
Yes, it's all good. We are here for you no matter what.
So, are you going to eat those crackers?
Okay.
There's been a change of plans, honey.
You are now coming with me.
-Really? -Yes.
Agustín and I thought that would be best for you.
What about us?
Yes, I can't go without my friends.
Let's do something.
Tomorrow, after going to the district attorney's office with Ana Lucía,
I'll come back and we'll figure out how to solve your situation, okay?
Look, we'll go home now and we'll discuss what you'll say tomorrow.
Remember that we need to do this for your mom.
It's important.
Say your goodbyes and I'm going to go talk to Luisa so we can go.
Don't give me that goofy look.
Look.
I have to do it.
Please.
I'll come get you tomorrow.
I promise.
You're the only family I have.
And no one could ever change that.
Don't forget it, please.
So, you'll come get us?
I swear.
Ana Lucía, we have to go.
Are you crying?
Oh, not at all, men don't cry.
I got something in my eye.
Don't worry, this isn't goodbye forever. .
I'll come back tomorrow.
And I'm not leaving without you.
I promise.
There they are, sir.
Yes, what I don't understand is where they are taking her.
Follow them.
Without them noticing, okay?
Pablo.
This kid! Pablo!
Young David, you can have this cake, but then you'll go to bed, okay?
Because if your mom sees me doing this…
Inés, have you seen Pablo?
No, ma'am. He hasn't come this way.
Honey.
Do you know where your brother is?
David.
David, this is serious. Do you know where your brother is?
Inés, do me a favor and tell all staff to look for the boy.
Ana Lucía!
-Ana Lucía! -Hello.
How are you? Who are you here with?
I'm here to see Ana Lucía.
Are you family?
I am Pablo de la Torre.
My dad is--
I know who he is. Does he know you are here?
No, because he and my mom don't care what happens to Ana Lucía.
Only I do. And I need to see her.
Take him to the sitting room and have him wait there.
Let's go.
Okay, stay here and keep watch.
If they come out, you call me on the satellite.
No matter what time it is.
The orders are not that difficult, right?
You know me.
That's exactly why I ask.
What's wrong? Are you upset?
I just really miss my mom.
I can imagine, honey.
But you're not alone anymore.
I'm here with you.
Now go to bed. It's time to rest.
Can I sleep with the lights on?
Of course.
Or, if you want, I can stay with you until you fall asleep.
Let's go to the bedroom.
You know what? Whenever I couldn't sleep,
my mom would tell me to think happy thoughts.
But, right now, I can't think of anything.
Your mom will always be a happy thought for you.
I will think about my mom.
To see if I can dream about her.
That's a great idea.
Thank you for being so nice to me.
I do it with all my love, sweetie.
Come, let's go to bed.
Honey, were you able to solve that problem you had?
Hello, sweetheart.
I'm on it.
Look, I want to make something very clear.
Nothing and no one will harm our family.
